Dead Battery?

OK confused here. Two year old quality battery in my FJ. I bought and hooked up electric gloves too it. Then stupidly accidently left them on a week. Now I got one of these guys(below) hooked up to it charging for a day and a half and its still solid red. It should be fully charged now right? I know the battery charger works fine cus I tested it by charging battery for generator. It blinks red when not charging and solid red when supposedly charging and green when done. I am confused on what to check next. Turning key over still zilch. I can jump start it from my car and fires right up. Did I hose my battery? How would I know?

Battery is hosed..... there is a point of no return when discharging a battery and i believe a week on the drain is enough to ruin one.

the only time a FJ wont start off the jump is if the battery is shorted internally.... but if the battery has lost its ability to store electrons no amount of running/charging is going to bring it back

JMO as a chronic battery killer.

KOokaloo!
